Meet Clutch Jettison!

Tonight, I got my "Uniform" back from my costumer friend, Vicki. She transformed an old, fleece shirt that I couldn't really wear anymore, into my "Star Trek" influenced uniform for Clutch Jettison, the character that I am playing in tomorrow night's "Forbidden Planet: Sci Fi Cabaret!" I hurried home to try the (nearly) full costume on and grab a few shots in the bathroom to post here. Sort of a sneak peek (at something you honestly never would want to see.)

Eh, enough yammering from me, sit back and soak up this sexiness...


That gun was $10 at Toys-R-Us. It's sufficiently "spacey" and "dildo-y" to satisfy the character's needs. It also has laser lights in it, when I fire it. If all goes according to plan, it won't be the only weapon I bring to the stage tomorrow night. (hint hint!)



Here's a nice view of the plunging neckline and the captain's stripes. You can't see the shoulder epaulets in this picture. Yes, it has epaulets.


The hairpiece was $12 at Ragstock. I got it a week before Halloween. And yes, it took some shaping to get it to look THAT good. Vicki loaned me the moustache.


Here's a shot of the Good Captain's Communicator. Which he wears, medallion-style around his neck. Because it's sexy... (The chest hair is real, ladies.)


If this weren't so fuzzy, it would be my "Hero Shot" for publicity stuff. Also, if it weren't clearly shot in a bathroom, too.


Yep, it's going to be a lot of fun, singing, dancing and thrusting in that costume. I still need to pick up his "utility belt". But I can grab that on Saturday, before the show.

Don't worry, I'm taping this show and putting it up on the Youtube. You don't go to the trouble of learning a new song, gluing shit to your face and learning "faux-karate" dance moves to lose a performance like THIS one.

For those who want to see a tight 6 minutes of snappy banter, and two Tom Jones songs sung by the sexiest captain in the universe, swing by the PG around 11:45 to get your tickets.
Here's the show "deets".

PS. The resemblance to Harry Mudd has already been noted and appreciated. Let me spare you the time, Commenters. I agree. There is more than a passing resemblance.

I'm repulsed and turned on all at the same time. So much hair everywhere! So much thrusting! If I get the chance, I'm slipping Clutch my number to get a load of his Red Giant. He just made my laminated list.

You have just attained a whole new level of gay.

Seriously, I dare you to wear that and walk down Halsted. Your rectum will fall out.

Whoops! I better correct that date. It isn't 2008 yet, is it?

Also, Hendo, I have to say this...

Clutch isn't gay or bisexual. Because either of those sexual orientations would be too limiting for him.

Why settle for one or two genders when there's a whole universe of options to explore?!? Clutch is a free spirit and a man who was born to sail the stars (within a heavily militarized starfleet) and pleasure as many species, as he can, before he eventually dies of some dumb, self-inflicted injury.

Besides, if you think THAT's gay, you should get a load of where Clutch holsters his ray gun!

The reign of Clutch is upon us! Prepare your vessels for a "boarding party" (all over your chest!)

Ha ha ha!

When you're a gay, you're a gay all the way, from your first cigarette 'til your last dying day!

hendo I just have to say that your title of "knocked flying by your closet door" made me laugh so hard I had to cover my mouth so the rest of the law firm wouldn't hear.

Clutch frightens me. I'm filing for sexual harassment.

i also think it's funny that you are calling Clutch/mr. B gay while spoofing West Side Story...perfectly. Perhaps the closet door left an imprint when it hit you?

most likely. I just hope it wears off.

Where is the video of this already? I need to see Clutch again. It's like a horrible bad habit, like smoking crack.

Baby needs crack.
